It has Tikis, waterfalls, caves, honu, iguanas, an erupting volcano and yes, even more Tikis :) As if this wasn't enough- add in FL's own strange pink flamingo paddleboats and you've got an evening to giggle over for weeks. We were not the only ones with cameras that day.

The HRHH2 was the second big annual event thrown by the Fraternal Order of Maoi (http://www.fraternalorderofmoai.org/), and the Drifters.
It was a weekend long extravaganza that kicked off with the Feast of the Gods at the Tropical Bistro (new home to many former employees of the famed Kahiki), then went north on Saturday up to Largo's Tavern. With a parking lot filled with vintage rides, and a bar filled with exotic libations, ono grinds, venders, Barnyard Burlesque, custom mugs and a full slate of excellent bands, the HRHH2 was a high energy labor of love!

This is a tribute page the the Hawaii Kai which held the original Lounge of the Seven Pleasures as but one of several rooms within the complex. To understand our bar- and love for all things Tiki, one must first study the Hawaii Kai- alongside other such Temples now gone.

We only made it to the Kona Kai once while it was open, and we had no camera with us. I really regret not being able to photograph it in its heyday. It was a vastly scaled down version of the one time Kona Kai formerly of the Marriot in Philly. The Kona Kai Bamboo Grill featured water ponds, Japanese hibachi steak tables, a large glass case with artifacts from the original and from time to time, a Polynesian revue. Unfortunately, it also featured Karaoke. In the spring of 2006 we returned with a camera, but were only able to take photographs of the now passed on remains of the restaurant.

Maryland's own little slice of Polynesia. Update, while Vera's lives on, it's in a new incarnation. It no longer looks like these pictures. Pieces of the original Veras are still intact, but many Tikis and the large Moai have been moved, the A-frame dismantled, and what remains now lives on in blue, not pink.

Awoke one morning in Rolla, MO and while driving through town, stumbled across the Great Wall Restaurant. It's right on old Route 66. I have no idea whether the interior contains any Tiki, or not, but externally, it "felt" Tiki. In MO, you take your Tiki anywhere you can find it.

These quick snapshots were taken at the Luxurious Moai Lounge in Maryland; Scottiki and Jen's (Mr. & Mrs. Moai's) home bar. The Moai Lounge is truely, a poly-pop 'classic', one of the greats!
The attention to detail in the Moai Lounge is phenominal, from the bamboo entry bridge right down to the drink garnishes!
After having missed their grand opening, OakTiki and I were able to make their second party, aptly dubbed "Moai Lounge 2: Electric Boogaloo"!
Regretably, these pictures are from AFTER everyone had headed home for the night, so these are the 'after' pictures, not the 'before's. Plenty of evidence of mixological carnage- but no worries- just evidence a good time was had by all!
